"What are they doing?" louise lamented when she realized that so many of her office workers, especially the young women who were passing by.
William, the melancholic man who had been with him frowned upon hearing Louise's complaint, "Certainly welcome you, what is more interesting than that?" answer William.
What William said was true. Ever since Louise and William set foot, all eyes were on her.
The group of office workers were ready to greet the two handsome princes at the company they worked for.
If Louise seems unhappy, it's different with William. He looks ordinary, want how else something like this has been common since long ago.
Right now, William is walking a little behind Louise. It seems he knows where to position himself. Along the way, they kept getting greetings.
"Good morning, President Louise!"
"Good morning, Mr. William!"
"Good morning, Boss!"
"Ck," Louise grunted softly.
Say hello, why should it be that close, also why show a smile that wide. Do you want to show a smile that has no sweetness at all in Louise's eyes?
"Good morning everyone! Sorry, Chairman Louise is having thrush so can't answer your greetings. Please go back to your respective places and start working" William said.
William is busy driving the employee away subtly, while Louise keeps going as fast as possible regardless of them.
"Sucks," Louise's inner.
Louise had no problem with the greeting, the problem was the distance as well as menor makeup complete with their clothes that look less stringy.
Not long after, Louise and William were in front of a special elevator that could only be accessed by certain people. Especially for both of them. They will always be in the first place considering that both are the number one and two people in this company.
It would be really annoying to have to be in an elevator with one of those women, right?
Ting.
Elevator door opens. Louise and William had reached the floor of their room.
"Will, I have a job for you" Louise said as she entered Louise's room.
"What's that?" ask William while closing the door. William was an obedient and very reliable person. So, when Louise has submitted a request, William will comply immediately.
"Fired those girls!" louise orders flat.
"Girls. Which girl?" william did not understand. There were a lot of girls along the way. So which one should be fired?
"Everything, I don't need employees like them. It's not that getting into the room and working well, but instead dressing up and acting weird like that" Louise explained
"But,-"
"There's no buts. Remember, the sooner the better."
Louise cuts off William's conversation that is still processing Louise's orders. That many employees, fired all at once? That's exactly what William wanted to ask.
"Louise, they'll demo if fired for no clear and reasonable reason" William said.
"Just tell them that they have disturbed my comfort. It made my mood worse and affected my work performance. It can affect a company's profits and it's a crime. Will they be able to compensate me if I suffer a big loss? To keep them quiet, just give them severance 10 times than usual, then recruit new employees to replace their positions and prioritize those who are married. One more thing, tomorrow morning I want complete data on all employees at Matthews Group. Do not forget to separate them based on gender as well as the duration they work here. Also attach top employees with good performance, I want to give rewards to them," explained Louise.
"Alright, as you wish," replied William relented and turned around.
"Where are you going?" louise asked when she saw William coming out of the room.
"Of course they're processing their mass firings and taking care of what you're asking."
"Just leave it to HRD to take care of it. I brought you with me not to take care of such trivial matters" Louise said.
"Sepele you said, this is gonna cause a big ruckus to know?"
"Then let it go, in the end they will be quiet after being tired," Louise said.
"All right, it's up to you."
William gave up again. Deftly William picks up his phone and contacts HRD to relay Louise's orders. Usually William is not like this, he will walk to HRD and stop by the pantry to take coffee. But if Louise prevents him from leaving, then she won't leave.
"Are you done?" ask Louise five minutes later.
"Just call, it doesn't take 5 minutes, does it?" william answered briefly.
Yes, for William to call like this only takes less than five minutes. But, hearing Louise's question made her feelings suddenly become uneasy.
"What's wrong, why look at me like that?" william asked when he saw Louise smiling slyly before him.
Louise did not answer anything, but one hand quickly pushed William back until he sat down on the sofa.
"Hey-hey what are you doing?" ask William in shock.
Suddenly Louise pushed him down, a scene like this was familiar. Similar to the male and female lead scenes in an adult film.
"Louise is still normal, isn't she? He didn't turn out to be gay even though he was rejected by women, did he?" inner William panicked.
"Will, what are you thinking? No need to put on a face like that. I'm not interested in a flat-chested human like you" Louise sneered.
"Damn it! I'm a man, I'm definitely flat-chested!" william is upset.
Louise smiled again, for some reason she was so happy to make William angry like this. It looks cute and adorable even though William is no longer a child like twenty-five years ago.
"You replace me first, I'll be gone for a minute" said Louise casually.
"Go say? Do you want to leave before you do anything?" asked William in a position still sitting on the sofa.
"What should I do?" cold response Louise.
"Of course it works!" william answered emotion.
"Didn't I order to fire all those annoying employees and find a replacement right away? I've also asked to collect employee data as soon as possible, haven't I worked?" ask Louise to remind
"Do you think you're that stupid? Look at what I've prepared on your desk!" william replied upset. His hands pointed to the table where the files were piled high, they had been waiting for Louise since yesterday, the file would be useless as long as Louise did not put her signature there.
"I'm not in the mood. I'll go for a while to get some fresh air" Louise replied as she walked towards the door, ignoring William who had been chased by the deadline.
"Louise, you're giving me a headache. Tell me, where are you going?" ask William. Now he was standing, standing up while pointing at Louise's chest.
"Library," Louise answered briefly.
"Library? Looking for some fresh air in there, are you crazy?"
"At least there won't be any weird girl with a menor dress passing in front of me" replied Louise cynically.
"Alright, but at least take care of your work first" William asked again.
"Just calm down, I'll finish it after coming back later. I'm leaving now" Louise replied quickly as the door closed. William, who was still standing, stood alone, imagining the chaos he would face after Louise's departure.
.
.
.
Yes, in this place once again Louise met with Joanna. Joanna who returned successfully stole his attention for the second time.
The library is one of Louise's favorite places. In this day and age, there will be very few people who go to the library, they prefer to spend their time in shopping centers or tourist attractions to unwind.
Very different from Louise, she felt this place was a pretty safe place. He can calm down without anyone bothering him because they will focus on their books. Currently, there are not many visitors present. If Louise is not miscalculated maybe only about nine people including herself is also an officer.
Louise walked straight to the farthest end, looking through the book on one of the shelves. Sort out which books feel suitable to accompany spending his time.
Taps.
Taps.
Taps.
Louise stopped her activity as soon as she heard the sound of footsteps. His instincts said something fun was going to happen today.
"I wasn't looking for you, but you kept coming closer. So don't blame me if I assume you're someone God deliberately sent for me" Louise said with a faint smile.
"Good day!"
Louise heard the voice of a familiar woman in her ears. A greeting that seemed to be addressed to a library guard. It was outrageous, because Louise could hear everything so clearly despite their considerable distance.
In the quiet room, Louise could hear footsteps approaching her and stopped right at the shelf on the other side.
Louise approached the source of the voice, starting to peek at the cute girl who had been wandering around her brain for the past few days. The girl walked leisurely before turning her back to Louise, sifting through the books deftly on the shelf opposite the shelf that Louise used to peek on.
Joanna turned around, it seemed like the book she wanted was not there. Now Joanna's approaching the shelf where Louise is, it's just different sides. From where Louise was standing now, she could notice Joanna at a very close distance from the gaps of the book blocking them.
Her big, black eyes, her thin reddish lips, her sweet smile like honey, Louise could see it all. Louise could even see the fine hairs growing on Joanna's hands.
Louise covered half of her face with the book she had picked up at random. Covering a thin smile that he could not bear. Maybe Louise was crazy, she opened the book but didn't read the contents.
As bewitched, her footsteps continued to follow Joanna who walked from one end to the other.
Louise only stopped when they finally reached the end of the shelf. At the crossroads, Louise deliberately stood back on the bookshelf, pretending to read her book quietly there. That way, Joanna wouldn't know that she had secretly noticed him from the start.
"Ah, Joanna yes. I'd better pretend I don't know what her name is, "inner Louise.
"Not here either, is it possible next door?" joanna asked herself when she couldn't find the book she was looking for.
"Alright, maybe it's next door" Joanna said.
Joanna returned some of the books she had taken back to where she had been, then rushed towards the next shelf.
BRUK. .
What Louise wanted really happened, because Joanna hit her and made the book she was holding fall to the floor.
"Jeez," inward Joanna.
Joanna lowered her head, took the initiative to pick up the book that had fallen, but at the same time Louise did the same.
"I'm sorry" they said.
One sec.
Two seconds.
Three seconds.
They stared at each other for a while. Joanna couldn't believe what a world this narrow. Why did he meet this man again. The man who offered the wedding at their first meeting?
"Sorry!" Joanna.
"For?" ask Louise.
"Because I'm bothering you again" replied Joanna.
"I don't think you're bothering me" Louise said sincerely.
"This is your book."
Joanna returns Louise's fallen book.
"Thank you."
Louise immediately stood up, moved her book to her left hand, then extended her right hand to Joanna to help her stand up. This time, Louise started it first and gave her hand to Joanna.
"Thank you!" Joanna. Received Louise's hand and got up.
"You been here a long time?" ask Louise. She knew when Joanna would come, but asked again because she wanted to talk more with Joanna.
"Just now, what about you?" ask Joanna back.
"Perhaps, fifteen minutes ago."
"Oh, so. Then excuse me first" said Joanna.
"Have you found the book you were looking for?" ask Louise.
The automatic question made Joanna stop to step up.
"Not yet, I'm going to look for her now, uh-" Joanna's answer was interrupted once she saw something behind Louise.
"What's wrong?" ask Louise.
"It looks like the book I'm looking for is on the shelf behind you" replied Joanna politely.
"Then please!"
Louise moves aside to let Joanna approach the shelf behind her, letting her pick up the book she wants. But, the book was kept on the highest shelf that Joanna could not reach even though she was on tiptoes.
"Let me help you" Louise offered to help.
Joanna's eyes grew bigger when suddenly Louise was already behind her and it was very close. Joanna doesn't know what's going on, but it seems like a lot of butterflies are flying around, especially when Joanna looks back and sees Louise so coolly reaching for the book easily.
"Ah, why does that guy suddenly look so cool?" inner Joanna.
Really, it's like the scene in a drama Joanna used to watch when Oskar was fast asleep. After losing her memory, it seemed like this was the first time Joanna had been fascinated and felt nervous to be near a man.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?" louise asked when she realized Joanna was not moving at all in front of her and was still standing behind her.
Louise's questions disperse Joanna's daydreams, making her clumsy for a while.
"Ah, no! There was dust in my eyes, "Joanna replied recklessly as she turned around.
